Live from the Fox News Radio Studios in New York City, fresh off the set of Fox and Friends, it's America's receptive voice. Brian Killmeade. Thanks so much for being here, everybody. It's the Brian Killmeat Joe. If you're looking for me at 48th and 6th, if you're looking for me at the 15th floor, don't.
I'm not there. It's my privilege to be at the opening of the Lieutenant Michael P. Murphy Navy SEAL Museum. It is the grand opening on June 28th. It'll be happening probably in two hours.
You got about a thousand people here, VIPs, the second SEAL museum in the entire country. And we're privileged to be here. Michael Murphy grew up on Long Island, depicted in Lone Survivor based on Marcus Luttrell's story. Marcus is the only survivor. 19 lost their lives that day and built off this.
And you get to see the entire legacy of all the seals dating from 1942 to present. It is really remarkable in 5,000 square feet. We'll talk about that. This hour will also be joined by. By Michael Sowers, who is with the museum and he's very much a part of all the pageantry here today.
Michael is also a retired Navy SEAL and CEO of Forged and started the Murph Challenge, which is a fixture cross-training to the 10th power.
Something that my next guest is very familiar with because she seems to work out all the time, and that is Governor Christy Noam. But before we get to the Governor of South Dakota, let's get to the big three.
Now, with the stories you need to know, it's Brian's big three. Number three: This is more death on the hands of the president. I can't think of anything worse than these. people in that 18 wheel are suffocating. I agree, Lieutenant Colonel, Lieutenant Governor Dan Patrick.
You cannot believe what is happening. Dozens of stacked bodies found in a tractor trailer as illegals die horrifically in San Antonio, all because this administration won't crack down at the border, and the word is out: if you come, you get in. Number two. Hey, Palestine, it's eight fifteen. I just wanted to talk to you.
I thought the article released the thing on online was going to be printed tomorrow in the Times was good. I need to clear. Do you believe this? That is the voicemail. of Hunter Biden.
That is the voice of Joe Biden. He is a liar. That's what President Biden has proven to be when it comes to the knowledge of Hunter Biden's business dealings. And in my opinion, It's not my opinion, it's his own words. Number They will pass a federal ban on abortion.
Do you believe that would happen, Michael? Yes. Without doubt or hesitation. Republicans care about life until the child is born. That is true.
The latest on the abortion rights, end bans, and rhetoric heats up, and places begin to overheat into violence in the streets. Both sides playing politics with life and choice. And with that, let's bring in Christy Noam. She's the proud author of a brand new book out today called Not My First Rodeo: Lessons from the Heartland. Governor, you're in studio, I'm not, and I'm jealous of that.
I always love seeing you in person. Congratulations on the book. Oh, Brian, I got here, started looking for you, and found out you weren't here. You know, I thought if you knew ahead of time, you wouldn't publish the book until tomorrow. That's true.
So I just said, no, that's not fair to your publisher. Governor, first off, just on what's going on, they stayed essentially all those trigger bans on abortion that would happen if Roe v. Vade was overturned. When it was, they did, and then the trigger was stayed. What's your reaction?
You know, in South Dakota, we have a trigger law that was in our statute as well. And abortions are not happening in our state right now. And that law actually says that the only case that an abortion would be allowed would be to save the life of a mother.
So this is something that I'm proud of South Dakota for standing for life. As we look from state to state, you know, there's going to be different decisions made, and obviously now we're seeing court action as well. It'll continue to be a conversation. But what the Supreme Court did was write a wrong decision that was made many years ago to make sure that this went back to the states to be debated by those elected officials that are closer to the people.
So I'm thankful for what the Supreme Court did. They're letting us do our jobs. Right. Do you feel as though politically this is going to play out against the Republican Party because this is a law that stood for all those years? It's something that President Trump feels as though could in fact be the case.
Well, it's possible, but we as Republicans or those of us that are pro-President. Life really needs to get out there and start talking to people. Having this conversation about what we know about babies in the womb, the science and the technology, what it's revealed to us about the situation, the fact that this life and this baby feels pain, and how doctors treat these babies in the womb, do surgeries on them, call them patients, give them patients' rights. If that is a patient that has rights, how is that not a human being then at that point in time?
So, those are all debates that we need to be having with people that are out there showing up to vote this fall. If it's on a ballot initiative, if it's going to be voting for other people that are out there running for office, they need to make intelligent, informed decisions. And we're much more informed today than we were 10, 15, 20 years ago on the issue of abortion. I want you to hear what Michael Steele said, as you know, he was RNC chair when Mitt Romney was trying to be president in Cut 6. The House and the Senate that they will pass a federal ban on abortion.
Do you believe that would happen, Michael? Yes. Without doubt or hesitation. They'll set the marker that they have the House and the Senate. Will they overturn the filibuster to do it?
Absolutely. Because it's in their bases' interest to do so. Absolutely. A national ban on abortion will be one of the first pieces of legislation, probably next to impeaching Joe Biden.
So, Michael Steele is not really a Republican anymore, if he ever was one. But Michael came out and said: is that the goal? I think that's what they'll try to do, definitely. I do think that while we have these conversations, we have to talk about who is the appropriate person, role of government, which government should be making this decision. Should it be at the federal level or at the state level?
And the Supreme Court obviously agrees it should be done at the state level. That's what we need to do and take the fear and the sensationalized rhetoric out of the conversation and really go back to what it is that the impact is that the Supreme Court has had on this country.
So you don't think that the agenda for the Republican Party would be a national abortion ban? The agenda is to leave it to the states? I believe it should be. That's why you've seen me out there talking about this so much the last several days since this decision came down: Republicans need to wise up, get smart. I don't believe the Republicans will come with a national ban just because it does divide their base and it will cause us to fail.
And right more now than ever, our country can't let Republicans fail. We literally are the only hope. For preserving this republic that we have and that our founders gave us.
So you came out and you were a congresswoman, and you immediately made an impact. People noticed you, and then when the governor slot opened, you did it and you got it. Did you aspire, always have political aspirations like this? Did you say, growing up, I'm going to run this state? No.
No, I would say we're not a political family at all.
So my dad was a cowboy, and we had a large ranch and farming operation. I was going to go to school, come back home and be in business with him the rest of my life. It wasn't until he was killed in an accident and we got hit with death taxes and almost lost our entire family business that I got involved in government and politics. It made me angry. I was 22 years old, had a tragedy happen to our family, and all of a sudden now I owed the federal government hundreds and hundreds of thousands of dollars that I couldn't pay.
So I just started showing up at meetings and talking about tax reform, got very passionate about tax reform. Got involved. You know, my dad raised us kids saying you don't complain about things, you fix 'em. And so I couldn't very well keep complaining. I needed to do something about it.
So here's an excerpt from your book. It says this: Growing up at a farm in South Dakota, there was always plenty that needed to be fixed. The same is true for our world. God gives us all different talents to work our own personal little corner of it. We ought to do so humbly.
Our society is so hungry for that, but we shouldn't shy away from the debate and we shouldn't settle for any easy out that leaves the job for someone else later.
Now, I know you lived up to this because I watched you on the Sunday shows this past weekend, and you were pretty much attacked. No one goes after Republicans like these Sunday shows. You knew you were going to be attacked, right? Oh, absolutely. Yeah, it's not necessarily a friendly environment when you're on there with Martha and Margaret on ABC and CBS.
But, you know, we have to be engaged, you know, be in the arena, like Teddy Roosevelt talked about. You know, this is something that now more than ever, I'm shocked at how our country changed and how people just rolled over and gave up their freedoms.
So that really opened my eyes to how quickly things can change overnight. And that we have to have a lot of good people who just show up. You know, most people would say they think about me, they hear my name, they think I'm contentious, that I like to fight. I don't, Brian. I am.
I tend to be an introvert. I want everybody to get along. But I also know what's right and that you have to make a difference and show up and get the job done. And I'm a decision maker.
So we need more people like that across the country that on these important issues really do understand what's special about America. And when we come back, I do want to ask you about 2024 and the chances of you may be getting in the race, but also who else says, I want to get in the race. Why do you keep asking me? Why don't you take yes for an answer? And that's Joe Biden.
But before we do, what was it like growing up as Christy Noam? What was your life like? Oh, you know, I was a tomboy. I was outside, loved animals all the time, wanted to be with my dad.
So, I mean, I would say that, you know, I've spent my whole life in a man's world. You know, I drove trucks and chased cows and rodeoed. And then when I got to the legislature, I was one of the few women there, Congress as well, definitely in the minority. Then I was the first woman. To get elected as governor of South Dakota.
So my life was wonderful. I think America is curious about the American West right now, and I had a very special upbringing with my entire family. But I think all of that equipped me and gave me the value system that has helped me make decisions throughout tough times, even in elected office. I don't think COVID was easy, but it certainly wasn't my first rodeo either. The other difficult things I'd gone through in my life prepared me for whatever challenges were going to come our way in this state and in our country.
I always walk away from the pandemic era. Hopefully, it's in our rearview mirror. Of you and Governor DeSantis in particular saying, I trust my people to make the right decisions with the information I gave them. Why do you have a problem with that? And almost every Democratic state didn't.
And they're looking out for us. And because of that, they fired people because they wouldn't take a vaccine. They prevented people from going to school. They prevented people from going to work. They told them to, we'll pay you not to work.
And we're still trying to work our way out of that. And South Dakota just does not have those problems. When we come back, we'll have more with Christine Ohm. Her book is now out as of today. It is called Not My First Rodeo: Lessons from the Heartland.
So go pick it up. When we come back, what does 2022 and 2024 look like for the Republican Party and for Christine Ohm specifically? I come to you from the Michael Murphy Navy SEAL Museum, which is about to open, and we're here for it. Don't move. Brian Kilmead Show.

A talk show that's real. This is the Brian Kill Me Show. The Democrats are actually mad at themselves. They only have themselves to blame. I'm shocked that Joe Biden stepped foot on that plane to Europe without, quote, doing something, doing something.
He took no executive action. He didn't go and join the protesters on the steps of the Supreme Court. He didn't even call legislative leaders to the White House, as far as we can tell. And you have to wonder what is the issue that's going to make him get some energy, some vigor, and say, I am not leaving this desk, this resolute desk, until you put something on it that's important for inflation or rising crime or baby formula or now abortion. And that's pretty much the story of Joe Biden.
He's always reacting to things. He's always very slow, whether it's the war in Ukraine, the ridiculous way and embarrassing way he left Afghanistan saying that inflation is transitory, don't worry about it, blaming inaccurately the Putin price hike for what's going on right now, and now the oil and gas industry for not drilling enough or using their leases. It is all. a smokescreen for the real story on so many issues that matter most. With me in studio is Governor Christy Noam, author of Not My First Rodeo.
Governor, what's your take on this administration to this point as we get we are now one hundred forty days to the midterms?
Well, I always say that Joe Biden is like the George Costanza of politics. Every single instinct he has is wrong. It's just incredible to me how he has completely made the wrong decision on every single issue.
So the midterms can't come quick enough to put some kind of a break on this agenda that they have. It's radical. It's leftist. Its goal is to remake the United States of America. And the only chance we have to stop them is a very, very successful midterm election that wins back the House, has a chance at the Senate, and really making sure this administration is crippled.
So Joe Biden, evidently, in a story in the New York Times last night, was so elated that Bernie Sanders he wouldn't run, who, by the way, is 82, would run. He invited him over to the White House to come for dinner. But every time he says he's going to run, no one's really embracing that. You have some Democratic friends. Why are they not embracing a president who wants to run for four more years?
Well, they all realize just how flawed he is and how difficult it is for him to even do the basic necessities of his job.
So, you know, nobody's excited about him. I don't believe he'll be running. They just don't necessarily know who to wrap their arms around next. It's not like Kamala is any better. She's worse.
And anybody on their bench is so extreme. I don't know who unites the Democratic Party. And frankly, I'm okay if they keep talking the way that they do. They fight amongst themselves more than anything else, and that's going to keep them from being successful in 2024. Governor, how do people have pointed at you and said you have national potential and maybe aspirations that way?
Have you thought about running in 2024? And if you were, when would it start?
Well, you know, people bring it up enough that you have to have thought about it. But my goal is to get re-elected to be governor of South Dakota. I'm on the ballot this year. I'm hopeful that the people there will trust me to give to lead for another four years. Our state is doing fantastic, number one economy in the country.
The fastest-growing incomes in the country are in South Dakota. Our kids are number one leading the nation in educational outcomes. We just did what conservatives believe, and it worked, and our people are happier.
So I'm focused on that. I think it's critical that we have leaders who do their job and understand what their job is and lead by example. Quit talking about it.
So there are a lot of people out there talking about running for president. I wish they'd just get up in the morning and get more work done.
So, in the theory that President Trump doesn't run, would you run if he does run? Oh, I haven't even thought about that, Brian. Don't you think there's probably 48 other Republicans that want to run for president. There's so many people talking about it. It just gets old.
It's exhausting.
So, you know what? Show me what you've done and know that you're going to be held accountable on every single decision you made because we saw a lot of weak leaders in the Republican and Democrat Party during the last two to three years, and they have to be held accountable for the decisions they made. Fourth of July, you want to do a fireworks display. Since President Biden got the keys to the White House, he won't let you, will he, this year? No, we're suing him over it, too.
I want everybody to be very clear. People say, why do you talk about fireworks so much? It's not that big of a deal.
Well, it is a big deal because the president is violating federal law by denying us the opportunity to host this fireworks over Mount Rushmore and honor our freedom, honor these leaders, and to be, you know, tourism is our second largest industry in the state of South Dakota, so it's our one chance to really market our state and to really talk about how proud we are of the liberties that we have in this country.
So it's a big deal. Deal for our economy, but it's also a big deal because we have a president that is knowingly breaking the law just to punish me and just to punish my state. You think so? What makes you think that? I know it for a fact.
We've had these conversations with administration officials. There's an Administrative Procedures Act that they have to allow us. As long as we check the boxes on getting this permit, they have to give it to us. And we have checked all those boxes, met all the requirements. Instead, they still deny it.
Governor Christine Noam, go out and pick up her book. It is out as of today, not my first rodeo. Lessons from the Heartland. Governor, sorry I missed you in the studio, but so glad you joined the show. Oh, next time.
Anytime, Brian, you have a fantastic time up there.
So proud you're there. Oh, yeah. I'm glad to be here too. Opening of the Navy Museum. Precise, personal, powerful.

So uh I'm here at the Michael Murphy, Navy SEAL Museum. If you're saying, I never heard of it, don't blame yourself. It's opening up today, actually, about an hour right here in Sayville, New York, but hopefully it'll be a destination around the country and around the world. With me right now is Michael Sowers. He's a retired Navy SEAL, CEO of Forged, and he started the Murph Challenge.
Michael, great to see you. Great to be here. You navigated the skies, which is your first challenge, right? Because you were able to come from California last night? Yeah, and that's no easy feat right now.
Like anybody trying to travel late now, I had a flight canceled and then booked on another flight. And then I think we stopped in like Kansas City, and then we're like, hold on, don't get off the plane. We're going to send this plane all the way to New York.
So, yeah, a little bit of a rank and roll, but happy to be here. What a beautiful day it is today in New York. See, for a Navy SEAL that's trained to be resourceful, even sometimes you're out of options when it comes to commercial flights. It's just crazy now. And once we got to the hotel, it was so funny because I texted Marcus because he was supposed to be there already.
Marcus is like, I'm not even here yet. And then once those guys got to the airport, it took them like three hours to get to the hotel. Wow. But it was a good little reunion once we all got made. In the SEAL community, what does this mean today?
I mean, it is amazing just to see this come to fruition. When Dan first brought it up to me, Tim Murphy brought it up to me a couple years ago about his inspiration and his vision of what he was going to put here in Long Island. Mm-hmm. I won't say I thought he was a little crazy, but I was like, it was such a big feat. I mean, there's only one other in the country.
Exactly. You know, when Dan goes for something, you know, he goes large.
So when he showed us the blueprint and the layout and a virtual mock-up, I mean, it was amazing. But of course, we helped support the Michael P. Murphy Memorial Scholarship Foundation through the Murph Challenge, which we run. And he was like, well, Mike, we need to sell a little more t-shirts this year because we need to get some more money for this museum. But we were totally on board.
I mean, for us, this is just the culmination of. For me, um Getting out of the teams and then creating a company and being able to give back and support our brothers and support the community, being able to be a small part of. growing this museum and raising funds Put this, I mean, anyone who comes to New York City to go see the 9-11 Memorial and go see the Statue of Liberty, I think you need to put this on your list as well. I mean, it's only about an hour outside the city, but you need to come out here and see it. I mean, it's a great little town, too.
I don't know if you had a chance to see it because you got here last night. First off, your company, Forge, tell me about it. Forged, I started Forge actually in 2007. I was deployed to Ramadi, Iraq. Marcus Luttrell, Morgan Luttrell, his brother, was in my platoon.
I didn't plan on starting a clothing company. I had 13 years in the Navy already, and I honestly, I was going to stay in and retire. And our last deployment in Ramadi, we got in a pretty catastrophic incident.
Some of the guys in our platoon were injured very badly. And when we got back stateside, a couple of us just got together and were like, hey, you know, let's make a t-shirt, a tribute t-shirt for one of our fallen guys, sorry, one of our injured guys. And we wanted to raise some money so he could get some specific medical care.
So we just started selling shirts around the team, and it just started picking up steam and picking up steam. And then a couple of the guys, I think it was around Christmas time, were like, hey, you need to make more shirts. You need to make more shirts.
So we were literally just slinging them out of the trunk of our car, and then it started growing and growing and growing. And it really got to the point where I had to make a decision. I either had to, you know, chase this forged entrepreneur dream or I had to let it go. And at that point, I said, you know what? I'll give it two years.
I'll get out of the military. I'll try it out. If I can't make it work, I'll come crying back and knocking on the door. Let me back in the teams. And fortunately enough, it did work out.
And just. You know, with every shirt that we sell, we donate a portion of the proceeds back to military nonprofit organizations.
So just being How are you doing now? You doing well? Yeah, yeah, yeah, we're doing well. I mean, we deal with the same thing everybody's dealing with right now with supply chain issues and inflation. I mean, everything is tough.
Just simple little things like just getting shirts and enough size runs and size colors and hats and the things that used to just come natural. You used to just call your supplier vendor and be able to get has been tough, but no complaints out of me. I know. You guys will find a way.
So we have a few more minutes with With Michael Sowers.
Now, let's talk about the MRF Challenge. It's basically like cross-training. He Murph was an incredible athlete, an unbelievable shape. How does the MRF Challenge help keep his memory alive and build places like this? The amazing part of it is: I like to tell people, you know, and it's like, hey, I did the MRF on Memorial Day, or what is the MRF?
And you get a lot of people out there that just try to run it for the time. But the most important thing is you got to remember the MRF Challenge is more than just a workout. The MRF Challenge is a tradition that helps push us, humbles us, and allows us the ability to dedicate a little bit of pain and sweat in honor of Lieutenant Michael Murphy and all the brave men and women that really paid the ultimate sacrifice for our country.
So, what you would do is get sponsors for you to do it? And is that how you raise the money?
So, if I wanted to do it, I'd get people to sponsor me to do this? No, actually, it's very easy. The easiest way to do it. It is just to go to the mirthchallenge.com. And it's registration is still open.
We run it until the end of July.
So you can go to the MurphChallenge.com, you can register on there, and you sign up. Also, when I pay the fee, that's my donation. Yep, you pay the fee, that's your donation. If you do have a gym or organization, you can also sign up as an official host.
So if you sign up as an official host, you get a banner and a flag, and your organization is listed on the Murph Challenge website. And that way, if you want to host an event, say if you want to do it on Memorial Day, 4th of July, Operation Red Wing Memorial, like today, which was the name of the operation of the unit they were in when it went down. One Mile Run. One Mile Run. 100 pull-ups.
Exactly. Have to be in a row. No. No, you can do it in a row, I can tell. If you want to, if you really.
See, the great thing about the Merch Challenge is. I don't know anyone that can do 100 straight pull-ups. Do you know a lot of people that can do that? There's not a lot, especially if you do it strict with a 20-pound vest. I'm nearly impossible.
Maybe Dave Goggins could pull it off, but there's not many guys on the planet that could do that. 300 squats? Yep, 200 push-ups, 200 push-ups, 200 push-ups. All right.
So that's important.
So, would you talk about the armored run, too? Is that part of this? Yeah, and I like to. Because he used to run with full equipment. Yeah, and.
Obviously, when you have Navy SEALs and professional athletes doing it, it can be a little intimidating for your average person.
So, what we like to tell them is: you know, don't worry about doing it with the vest. If it's your first year you do it, all right, just get it done. And if you go to themurphchallenge.com, we have a training workout program on there. I don't expect your average person to just sign up and be able to knock it out the next day.
So, we have a specific training program on there. People from every fitness level, there are scaled options on there as well. Michael Sowers is with us, former Navy SEAL, who's helped put the Murphy SEAL Museum together, which opens up shortly. Why did you join? For me, really, I grew up in a small town in Pennsylvania.
I was an athlete in high school. You're an athlete? What did you play? I wrestled and played football. I was all state my senior year in wrestling.
In Pennsylvania, that is a mecca. I had some scholarships to go to college and wrestle, but with me, I just really wasn't into school anymore. I was more into living an adventurous life. And one of my brother's buddies actually went to Buds, and he came home for Christmas break. I think I was about 15 years old.
And he was at our house, and he was telling me, Oh, I'm in this Budge training. I said, What's that? He's like, Navy SEALs. I said, I like that movie with Charlie Sheen. He's like, Yeah, exactly like that.
I said, Man, what's it like? He's like, Man, we're kind of like a wrestling team, but we run around with machine guns and we blow stuff up. And I was like, Wow, you know, that sounds really cool. And I had a couple uncles in my family that were in Vietnam, so it had a lot of military background in my family. But after really researching, and I mean, you're talking like early 90s then, too.
There was no internet. I think I had one VC. Tape, you know, so it was like the elite option or something like that. But I watched it and I was sold. I would skydive and scuba dive, blow stuff up, shoot guns.
And like I said, I was from a small town in Pennsylvania and I was like, Where do I got to go to this? They're like, Well, you go to Coronado, California. I was like, Sign me up right now. I couldn't get there fast enough. But when you did it, did you say, What was I thinking?
Because it does seem so tough. If you watch the beginning of Lone Survivor, you get a real clue of what it's like. Oh, did you ever think to yourself, I'm not going to make this? Oh, yeah, the first day. Like I said, I was an all-state wrestler from Pennsylvania as well, too.
So, and I like to tell people, I was an instructor for a long time as well.
So, I worked on the recruiting side of the house. And I would like to tell the kids sometimes, like, it's intimidating. It doesn't. I mean, we had professional athletes in our class. You had guys who played in the NFL, guys who were major league baseball players.
Some of them made it, and some of them did it. It's so hard that. You have to be so committed. It's got to be the only reason you like your reason for being there has to be the right reason. If you're just like, hey, this guy's like, yeah, you know, I'll try it out.
I want to challenge you in my life. You're not going to last long. It really takes that commitment. It doesn't matter how good of a natural athlete you are, you are pushed to your limits. And I mean, every single day.
And that's really what makes the SEAL Brotherhood what it is: going through all of those arduous situations and evolutions with the guys next to you. You can't really compare that to any other job. Afghanistan and Iraq? Yes, both. What do you think about how we left Afghanistan?
Well, I mean, honestly, it's tough for a lot of guys. I mean, even before that, I was in the Battle of Ramadi. Marcus and Morgan were in there as well. I mean, even when we first pulled out of Ramadi and we saw that. get retaken again.
And then as we left Afghanistan they went back and took it back. Exactly. That was pretty hard for us is we did lose a lot of guys in Ramadi. And and Really, when we pulled out of Afghanistan, just the way it went down, just not being organized, you know, we are the greatest superpower in the world. And you fought brilliantly, you adapted to the battlefield, you learned the skills, you got the equipment.
This should be a success story. Exactly. Exactly. And I hope people view it that way. You can't control who the leader is.
You can only control the fights you're allowed to do. It exactly. And you know, I think the real success story Was the actual veterans and even the scientists that got everybody else that got everybody together and used that network. And I think that's what really showed who America is. That showed who America is.
You know what? If we can't rely on the government to do it, guess what? We're going to get our own people together and we're going to make this situation happen and we're going to get our friends out of there. The people that fought beside us and helped us out, we're not going to leave them over there. We're going to go get them.
Great to meet you.
So glad you did what you do and you continue to give back to the country and this community. It's going to be an exciting day and you made it. And the gods were on your side, the flying gods. Because one of the big stories today was all the cancellation flights. I think it hit a new time.
Hi. Mike Sowers, retired Navy SEAL, CEO of Forged, who started the Murph Challenge. Go sign up for it today, and your admission fee becomes the donation. Chris Wiley's next, Executive Director of the Murphy Museum. Don't move.

Had a chance to talk to Governor Christine Noam.
So glad she was nice of her to be in the studio. We're in West Sayville, New York, on Long Island. WRCN listeners understand that. We're very close to them. But we're on a national story because only for the second time in this country, we have a Navy SEAL Museum.
It's named after Michael Murphy. A man that is the executive director of the Michael Murphy Navy SEAL Museum is with me right now, former Navy SEAL himself, Chris Wiley. Chris, welcome. Oh, thank you, Brian. Thanks for being on television with us today.
That was a very, very unique experience.
Well, yeah, you were natural for it. You're somebody here who has been here every step of the way. 5,000 square feet. It costs millions of dollars to put together your feeling when the opening is just moments away. I'm excited.
At the same time, I don't think it's set in yet. You know, we've been working, the whole board and the staff here have been working diligently to get to this moment. And so, right now, hopefully later this afternoon, it'll actually sink in and I'll be able to breathe and enjoy it. But I'm just so happy that we got here. On One Nation, Saturday night at 8 o'clock, we're going to have the tour that you gave me of this museum.
But what was your hope starting Monday? How many people do you expect to come through those doors? What do you hope they get out of it?
Well, I just hope they get a full understanding of. The commitment, the sacrifice that the Naval Special Warfare community gives every day. And the education that this building is going to give them and provide them and provide the community, it's. It's something that I look forward to experiencing when I can see the young kids come, older people, everybody come in and see this because every time I've put a few family members or people through it, they're either in tears or astonished with the breadth of what SEALs and UDTs and the SWCC people have performed and done. Why is there only two?
I mean, to surprise you, there's only two Navy SEAL museums? I mean, you told me there's only 18,000 in the history of our country to become Navy SEALs. That is correct. From 1942 to present day, that's a rounded-off number of about 18,000 people. But I believe that it just, there wasn't an education, there wasn't a lot of talk about SEALs in the past.
It now became people writing books. There's a lot more media coverage. There's a lot more interest. Since the bin Laden raid, too. Yes, yeah.
So since all of this, I believe the demand or the interest has been. Been there for the need to have more museums and more education on the SEAL program. We need more SEALs. You know, it's an elite group. You're not going to just be able to replenish.
You know, a SEAL community, if we have another Operation Red Wings or Extortion 17, where you have a great loss of lives. And this was built off Operation Red Wings. Lone Survivor was the movie and the book, but Michael Murphy was on that unit and famously with a satellite phone that would reveal his location. He had to go to a high point to get a signal out to try to get his guys out. And to do that, he had to call back to base.
And when he exposed himself, it cost him his life. That's correct. He gave the ultimate sacrifice trying to save his men. Um And You know, his story, there are a few other stories here with Medal of Honor recipients that are from the different eras of the SEALs from Vietnam forward. And all of their stories are absolutely phenomenal.
But Michaels just resonates in the community and the hearts of the people in general. It's just one of those. Stories that everybody remembers, and the movie was made out of it, so it made it much easier for the word to get out on his heroic. you know, uh feet. If people want to give, because this is really driven by private donations.
That's correct. Where do you go? You can go to Murphy NavySealMuseum.org. And You could donate there. You can call.
We will facilitate getting donations. And we're also looking for people that, if you had a SEAL or a UDT member in your family, we're also looking for photographs from back in the 1940s and 50s and 60s. Right. So we're still trying to gather photographs of people that they don't have it in the archive. Very fascinating.
And you also have a cadet program, right? That's correct, the Michael Murphy Sea Cadet Program. Fantastic. All right.
Go out and help Chris Wiley out. He's the Executive Director of the Michael Murphy Navy SEAL Museum. Live from the Fox News Radio Studios in New York City, fresh off the set of Fox and Friends, it's America's receptive voice. Brian Killmead. Hi, everyone.
I'm Brian Kilmead coming to you from West Zayville, Long Island, in New York, normally at 48th and 6th in Midtown Manhattan, but on the road for a great reason, the opening of Lieutenant Michael P. Murphy's Navy SEAL Museum. Today is the day.
Soon, it's no longer going to be something on paper that you get exclusive tours for, special passes to. It's going to be open to the public starting in about an hour. The ceremony will be about 90 minutes. And of course, in New York, there's also a primary day.
So people are going to be picking a Republican and Democrat, depending on the party you're in, to run in November. And of course, when it comes to the governor's race, that's a real big deal this year because the sense, and I think it's a good sense, the Republicans have a real shot right now. Obviously, Lee Zeldon looks as though he is in the driver's seat. Andrew Giuliani, also there. Rob Astorino, very well respected in the area, and Harry Wilson, a big-time businessman.
But now, let's get to the big three.
Now, with the stories you need to know, it's Brian's big three. Number three. This is more death on the hands of the president. I can't think of anything worse than these. people in that 18 wheel are suffocating.
To death. can't go on. It can't continue. Dozens of dozens of stacks of bodies found in a tractor trailer as illegals die horrifically in San Antonio, all because this administration won't crack down on the border and the word is out, if you come, you'll get in. Number two.
Hey, Palace, Dad. It's eight fifteen. I just wanted to talk to you. I thought the article released the thing on online. It's going to be printed tomorrow in the times was good.
I think it's clear. Really? Joe Biden. is a liar. That's what President Biden has proven to us with the voicemail that was on that laptop from hell, downloaded from You Got It, Hunter Biden's laptop and his phone, his iPhone, shows he had full knowledge of Hunter's business dealings.
That was, of course, something he denied. It's not my opinion. It's now his own words. Number one. They will pass a federal ban on abortion.
Do you believe that would happen, Michael? Yes. Without doubt or hesitation. Republicans care about life until the child is born. Right.
There it is. The latest on abortion rights and bans and the rhetoric heating up, and in places overheats to violence. Both sides are playing politics with life and choice. But the other bigger story that I believe resonates more with the American public is what's happening with oil and gas. Because wherever you go, it affects your life.
Vacations canceled. Cars not bought or cars not used. It's over $5 a gallon. It blows up. Anybody living paycheck to paycheck is now altering their life.
And guess who decides to vilify the oil and gas industry and blame them? The President of the United States. And that to me is unacceptable and it's inaccurate. You know, I have this series called What Made America Great. One of these specials that comes out on Thursday is on the history of oil and gas in this country.
And the guy who helped me out significantly and gave me great knowledge of a business I did not know the mechanics of is with me now. He is Jeff Gorski, chairman of Artemis Production Solutions, and he's president of Avvi. Hey, Brian, good morning. Thanks for having me. Hey, hey, Jeff, first off, what was your reaction when the President of the United States came out and said, well, I'm sorry I hurt their feelings when he made comments that you guys are basically using windfall profits instead of making sure that we you pump more and got the price of oil and gas down?
Well, before I jump into that, once again, I just wanted to thank you for all the support you've given the Oilfield Energy Center and highlighting it at the upcoming presentation on Fox Nation. We enjoyed spending the time with the Fox crew here in Houston and then subsequently, the little tour that you and I did on the Ocean Star. in Galveston.
So really looking forward to that program. Yeah, on Thursday it's going to be out, and we're going to be showing highlights all week, all for the next couple of weeks. But Jeff, I didn't really listen, I grew up in New York on Long Island. I didn't know much about the oil and gas industry, but I have enough humility to know ask questions. I'm amazed if people don't know anything about your job that are telling you how bad you're doing.
Yes, I think you and I talked about that while we were touring the rig. I was quite impressed with your insight, however, so don't sell yourself short in terms of knowing what we're dealing with and knowing the technology that actually gets us there. But specifically back to the point that you made, I think one of the biggest things that the current administration can do is really tone down the rhetoric. in terms of the divisiveness of the oil and gas production in the U. S.
You know, what we really need is we need some cheerleaders out there, and I'm talking about. you know, our other lawmakers as well. that we need to be encouraging capital investment. in the oil and gas business today domestically. And really, let's knock down the rhetoric.
Let's start telling the truth. about our industry, about the things we do in terms of producing reliable, safe energy that drives this country forward. It doesn't work for radio because it's too low, but there was captured audio of the President Macrone telling Joe Biden that the Middle East is essentially producing all it can. MBS told Macron, I can maybe get you another 100,000 barrels, but not much. We're basically hitting the max.
Go and print, hey, Joe, pump yourself. Pump your own oil. That's the best way to do it. What's your reaction to that? Yeah, I I agree.
At the end of the day, President Biden, isn't he wasn't he born in Pennsylvania? I mean, right now in Pennsylvania and parts of West Virginia, We have one of the most prolific basins In the lower 48 called the Marcellus.
So he doesn't have to get on the plane, fly to Riyadh and talk to the Saudis and OPEC and ask for production. Why don't you just go to your home state Understand what the good people of Pennsylvania are doing and trying to bring secure supply. of oil and gas to this country.
So quite frankly, The way I see it, it's really a national security issue where we are. Yeah. Putin's war against Ukraine doesn't make that stand out with regard to the importance of our national security. By having our own supply. I don't get it.
I don't know where everybody's missing in terms of understanding why we shouldn't be doing everything possible to move U.S. Oil and gas production forward.
So, Jeff, not only do you need Chile, they're talking to Jeff Gorski of I want to get to the bottom of oil and gas, he's a one-stop shopping to do it.
So, it's not as easy as just saying refine more. You have to get a commitment to get investment of about five years, right?
So, if you just tell people for five years I'll have this type of commitment, you'll be able to get the investment if you stop discouraging the investment in your business. Why is it that we have so few refineries right now?
Well, I mean, basically, we're to the point where we need an infrastructure bill focused on not only retooling the current refineries, but opening more. At the end of the day, you hit it on the head. the producers of oil and gas here in the U. S. can find more supply, we can drill more rigs.
They use more rigs, drilling more wells, getting more supply, But first of all, you gotta get that supply from the field to the refineries. What's the bottleneck? pipelines.
So we need more infrastructure pipelines. to get that production to the refineries. ultimately to where we can lower the cost of overall value to the consumer. The way I understand it, The Russians not having their oil in the world market is not affecting the price. There's no difference in the amount of oil available.
So if that is in fact correct, what is affecting the price right now?
Well, it's a little bit of everything. It's basically the insecurity of the supply. I mean, it's a commodity that's traded on the world market, right?
So we talked about this a little bit. What's the current geopolitical market? And if we're not self-sufficient here in the U. S. Then we're going to be affected by those winds that blow across the world with regard to global supply.
Additionally, to that, Brian. The need for energy Around the world is not slowing, it's growing. And there's a lot of smarter people than me looking at the world energy need. Out in 2050, that could increase as much as 45% of what we do today.
So, yes, we not only need oil and gas, we need renewables, we need nuclear, we need Hydrogen, we need every type of source going forward because are we supposed to allow the developing nations of the world not to continue to grow and prosper and get the same standard of living that we need to do? But Jeff, you understand, but the president has a different idea. He's bragging about Angola getting solar panels, and he's talking about not chopping up the grain used for renewables because we need it for food. Boris Johnson says we need it for food. He goes, No, we need it for renewable energy.
I mean, to me, he's a guy who's detached from reality that you seem to be ingrained in. What did it tell you when he decided to meet with the wind people rather than walk one mile down and meet with the oil executives last week? Once again, I talked about this. the rhetoric that just comes out of the beltway with regard to the evil empire that is considered the oil and gas industry. You know, here's the good news, Brian.
We took Our country's production down to a importer to a next to a net exporter.
So it's not something that I can sit here and tell you and your In your listening group, that hey, trust me, we can do this, we've done that. We've already showed that. All the innovation that's in our industry, everything that has been developed in these unconventional resources, we're there, not to mention. North America, along with Central and South America, there's enough natural gas for hundreds of years.
So at the end of the day, we have all the resources we need not only to our neighbors to the north and the neighbors to the south. and the contiguous forty eight and of course, Alaska. But this is what bothers me: is the people who right now are in charge have this view. For example, climate czar John Kerry, listen to this. Energy security worry is driving a lot of the thoughts now about, oh, we need more drilling of gas, we need more drilling of this, we need to go back to coal.
No, we don't. We absolutely don't. And we have to prevent a false narrative from entering into this or Again, pun intended, we are cooked. Is he right? Uh hi.
I've never met mister Carey. I don't know what he really thinks. But at the end of the day, I'm taking you to a solution that is proven. The things that he talks about. everybody talking about the new green economy.
This is trust us. or this will happen. I'm telling you about something that is proven. The one thing this industry is is innovative and resilient, and you have to be when you're dealing with an industry that depends on a globally traded commodity.
So we know how to do it.
So if we could get a little bit of help from the current administration. streamlining regulatory provide a predictable market to operate, which will allow people to invest. remove the hurdles today of pipeline projects and allow the abundancy of our natural gas supplies to reach to Americas. If you really want to talk about green fuels, It gets pretty, pretty climate focus by using natural gas. And if anybody doubts that, you look at the switching of power plants to natural gas since two thousand five and its positive impact of reducing greenhouse gases.
So we have the natural gas, we have the technology, let's get it delivered to consumers and quit talking about these things that ultimately we believe will happen.
However, I do agree we need to continue to look at those technologies in development. But once again, I'm telling you about a proof and track record that we have done. It is under our feet here in the U.S. And once again, we can become a dominant global producer of oil and gas, which first of all, in my mind, is the number one objective for our government is national security. Absolutely.
Jeff Gorski, he's an oil and gas expert. He's spent his entire career there.
Now he's chairman of Artemis Production Solutions. You could see him on the history of oil and gas in America, on our brand new edition in our brand new series, What Made America Great? We have a brand new season, I should say. Jeff Gorski, thanks so much. Listen.
When the iPhone was better than the BlackBerry, we left the BlackBerry. But until there was an iPhone, no one was leaving their BlackBerry.
So if they have oil and gas that's ready, an electric car is more efficient, Americans will move to what works better, which is cheaper and more effective. Right now, we have no alternative, whether you like it or not. Jeff, thanks so much. Thanks, Brian. Great talking to you again.
Same here. 186X. 408-7669. We're at the Michael Murphy Navy SEAL Museum. It's about to open up for the first time.
We're excited to be here. Guess who's coming up at the bottom of the hour? Taylor Kitsch, who plays he's the actor who played Michael Murphy and Lone Survivor, and Marcus Luttrell. who was the lone survivor. Don't move.
Brian Kill Meat Show. Diving deep into today's top stories. It's Brian Kilmead. If you're interested in it, Brian's Talking About It. You're with Brian Kilmead.
It again just puts the lie to Joe Biden's repeated insistence that he knew nothing about Hunter's overseas business dealings. In fact, he was intimately involved and you hear with his own voice where he says to his son about this New York Times story, you know, I think you're clear, as in you're out of trouble. This is, you know, at least evidence of some sort of guilty knowledge. And what it shows is that they were in trouble because the New York Times had come very close to the story about the whole Biden family, Hunter, Joe and his brother, Uncle Jim Biden, their involvement with this Chinese energy company. Miranda Devine is must her head might be ready to explode because she had this story, put it in columns, then put it in a book, Laptop from Hell.
On some level, she might have been amazed no one took it from her. They told the New York Post the laptop was not real. 50 intelligence experts, CIA directors all said it's a fake. Then, two years later, they admit it's not. The laptop is real.
He even rolls out a book tour that is so in your face for Hunter Biden. And now we find out on that laptop was even a voicemail from his dad talking about a Chinese deal that he was doing with this. Forbes 40 most richest people under 40 in the world. A Chinese businessman who disappeared. His partner Devin Archer is arrested.
They wonder if he's trading on the family name. And here is the President of the United States telling his son, don't worry about it. PayPal's dad, it's eight fifteen. On Wednesday night, the chance can be called. Just wanted to talk to you.
I thought the article, at least the thing on online, is going to be printed tomorrow on time, was good. I think it's clear and uh Anyway, um If you get a chance, give me a call. I love you. Yeah, not urgent. Just the Washington Post about to expose the family's international business dealings, trading on the family name, using their country and their power to get the deals done.
Not a big deal. Call me when you can. Brian Kelly, Marcus Luttrell. And the man who played Michael Murphy in Lone Survivor. Join me live at the Navy SEAL Museum where I'm at.
It's about to open in about an hour. Taylor Kitch, Marcus Luttrell next. Radio that makes you think. This is the Brian Kill Me Show. Never out of the fight.
We need a meet, here's support. Anything. Welcome back, everyone. We're at the Navy SEAL Museum opening. It's the Michael Murphy Navy.
Uh museum. SEAL Museum, and it's only the second one in this country. It's 5,000 square feet over my right shoulder. They're going to have the opening ceremonies, cut the ribbons, and it'll be official, open to the public in West Dayville, Long Island.
Now it's another reason, another place to stop before you get to the Hamptons or Montauk. And no one has to tell that to Taylor Kitch, actor and who played Lieutenant Michael Murphy in Lone Survivor, or Marcus Luttrell, who came all the way from another state to a place he didn't know existed, Long Island. The retired Navy SEAL served in Afghanistan, author of Lone Survivor, multiple bestsellers. Welcome, guys. Appreciate you being here.
Absolutely. Thanks for having us.
Now I'm going to ask for some cooperation. You have to work.
Well, I gave you one microphone. You did. And you and Taylor have to get along for just this moment on the radio, okay? You didn't say anything. That's right.
He didn't say anything about that. He was just talking about the microphone. But you have to share it. That's what you brought in. All right.
It's like Brian killed me. He'll have two microphones. Speaking of microphones. Away from an after.
So that's we're in. How do you feel about that, too? Exactly, not great. My ego is actually hurting quite a bit. We're going to have to remedy that.
So, in the introduction, he says something about another state. It's Texas. It has a name. Right. It's a great state.
Wait, I didn't know if you were talking about that. How do you feel about that, Taylor? I agree. I've lost total control of this interview, and he's bigger than me, and I really don't know how to get it. Because he handed me the microphone.
I know. So, Taylor, what do you feel about that?
So, Mark, you have your own podcast, too. I was on it with your brother Morgan. I appreciate that. You're our one and only guest, man. It was great.
Was I your only guest that you're getting? You were all we needed. But your twin brother is on the precipice of going to Congress. He won the nomination. Huge feel, too, by the way.
I believe that? Yeah, so it's Kevin Brady's seat. He's retired. Yes, sir.
So, and you're both mentored by another great politician, Governor Rick Perry. Yes, sir.
So, who's also Secretary of Energy on with me yesterday and gives his regards? Great man, great man.
So, I talked to you on television a show a while ago. We have a little bit more time now. First off, Taylor played Michael. How did he do? Great.
I actually I don't know if we've made this public or not, but when it came time to picking the actors for the parts, I actually had a say in that. Except for the one who was to play me. I didn't have any say in that. I didn't get a chance. Because Mark Wahlberg?
My thought was: If I pick somebody to play me, it better be walk like Denzel. You know what I'm talking about? And then. And my friends know me. I mean, w when you when someone says, Hey, uh, if you're gonna be in a movie, you would know who you want to play you immediately.
But if it's real, you're like, No, I need you to really pick somebody. Then you put some thought into it.
So it came Pete and I were talking. I was like, Man, you you you pick who plays me because I uh i if I did that, I don't think it would ju Do it justice. But when it came time to picking Mike and Axe, that was on, I had a Big handle in that, and he was the choice. Right, absolutely. Mark Wohberg playing you.
What do you think? You've known in a way I don't know him, and Taylor, you're probably friends with him. What was he like doing a part like that? I already likes to get to learn what it takes to be that person, whether it's a fighter or oh, they all do. They took this serious.
I mean, once once they got in and they realized there wasn't any getting out of it, then it was uh It was serious business. With Mark he's great. I mean, we have a fantastic relationship. I say he's the city version of me, and it was when we first met up. I didn't get a chance to meet him right away.
Taylor and I actually were together a long time, and a few of the guys, I mean, every single day. And then when Mark came into the picture, we kind of circled up the wagons, brought him in. Everyone started training again. It truly made for a family environment.
Well, they're part of us now. Right. We didn't cut them any slack. I mean, they had to go through the ringers, and because of that, they earned the respect and the place among us. And then finishing the mission, now they're family.
Taylor, you got a movie coming out on Friday, right? Yeah, a show on Amazon. And a show on Amazon.
So I mean, you could be anywhere. I mean, why was it important for you to be here today? Um I mean, I've been lucky to do a lot of jobs, play a lot of real-life guys, but this one, this experience has given me back more than. Anything I've done in my career?
Well. Mark is sitting right here. He's a brother of mine. The whole community, like he said, I think the most flattering thing, especially when you have a responsibility like this, you serve that story and these guys. It's to have them Thank you, and to have Dan and Maureen and John.
Murphy, be there for you and thank you for that is honestly everything. That's why you get to, you know, take swings like this and be a part of this. And this is a torch I'm more than happy to carry and be a part of these guys' lives. And I mean, the whole community to be taken in by those guys is a pretty fascinating. Family.
And um I mean I I think You know, on a day like today, on so many levels, it's heavy, and you carry that, and you feel that, and there's a lot of love out here, but we're also laughing. Catching up, and there is a true like at ease. I mean, within 10 seconds of seeing each other again, it's like we're just in it again, and that's the beauty of it. Right. And it was so cool that Marcus, you stayed in it.
You didn't play yourself, but you stayed in the movie.
So you're on the set, so you're training these guys and you felt it. But was it traumatic going through it again? I mean, I was traumatized. I didn't live through it. I'm watching that, and I know how it ends, and I'm still affected by it.
How about you seeing it on the screen? That's a great question. That's a great question. And it it It was almost intense therapy because I had to break down every piece of it. And they would ask me questions that I hadn't thought about.
Like, why were you doing this, this? And what was he doing with this? And I was like, man, I hadn't thought about that. And when he says we're family now, that's right. Because we're together on the holidays.
And I'll call him if I have a problem. Like, man, you ain't gonna believe it. I gotta go. I mean, that kind of, that's how you know that you created that bond, and we did that on the set. Mainly because the roller coaster ride, they had to go over with the emotions and the death.
I mean, we pulled them right into that. I was on set when there was a bunch of seals on set. And then they'd have to deal with the family members and then the people on the outside because everyone in America has something to do with getting me off that mountain and pulling the guys back. He just did. That's why I carry myself the way I do at all times because I'm going to run into somebody who has something to do with bringing me back.
Not only that, when it came to them, I was like, every time someone types in our name, your face is going to come up. This is who you are. You're just doing other stuff now. You're out of the movie. That's fine.
But I always reel them back in. Like, if I see him out there, they pop in my head, I'll call them up and keep them in check. That's my job. Are you worried about him becoming too successful? I'm proud of him for that, right?
Are you worried about him becoming a child? If I want him to become real, real successful and try to ignore me a little bit, then I'll reach in there. That's not going to happen. That's not going to have to talk to my scheduler. That kind of thing, right?
But it worked out so well in a dynamic because we had them before filming, during, and after. And then we perpetuated it by staying in touch. And our families, everyone was starting something new, it felt like.
So everyone grew together in that mold. And because of it, we're.
Well, life's better.
Now, Mateo, did did you tell Marcus you're Canadian? Were you afraid of family? No. It is truly the spirit of these guys, obviously. But I want to go back to the family thing and.
Um You know, I went through a really intense family experience, and quite literally, he is top three that I'll call. I think we all have maybe, if we're lucky enough to have three people in our life that you can lean on that are unquestionably there. And it was a moment that you'll never forget. And you call him, and he's quite literally just. It's like get to the ranch, let's go.
You know, this is just, it's not even a question. And no matter what he's dealing with, you know, I didn't know at the time or whatever, you know, it's just an open door. And um I think that's just You just never forget those moments, and that's how that is so cultivated, that relationship and forged. You know, it's just there isn't a question about it. Taylor Kitch is with us, famous actor who played Michael Murphy in the movie, and then Marcus Luttrell, who they based the movie off his book, Lone Survivor.
Marcus, one thing that's pretty clear: I've had a chance to meet you since the book came out those years ago. You have physically had to rehab a lot. You would just disappear for a few months, right, to work on your back. How are you doing now physically?
Well, it's became a routine.
So it's. I still have to do that. I still have to go down and live in that. The Hospital for a few weeks, a few months to get my body right for the year. And I've just accepted it.
Like a lot of people fight some of the things that happen to them, and then so you'll always be fighting it. And I accepted kind of like what my routine had to be. And because of it, I've dialed it in. I hold to it. If any part of my day throws me off of my routine and pulls me out of it, I have enough to get through that.
And then I'll push myself back into where I need to be to keep going. And just like Taylor said, it's. When you go through life's experiences, it teaches you: good or bad, you take something from it. Usually, a design that's Going to help somebody else when they call.
So, in any given moment, if I'm having a day, I'll call him up. Whatever he tells me is the answer, even if he doesn't know it, to what I need, I needed to hear it. That's how the good Lord works, right? And so when you have people like that in your life, and we threw them into the deep end of pulling them straight in the fire. I mean, I didn't give them any slack at all.
I'm like, hey, bro, boom, here we go. And then I don't ever let you go. I mean, I won't ever let you go. It doesn't have anything to do with you, it has to do with me. Right.
That's loyalty to stick to in this. It's not you, it's me. I say the same.
So Taylor You know, you grew up in Canada, you live in Montana, and you lived in Austin. Will we need just a million? We need people to come by this museum. This Lieutenant Michael Murphy. Navy Seal Museum.
Can you tell people why it's important to put it on the th the Cooperstown for Seals? The Canton for Seals. It really is. And it's it's funny as much as I think I knew. Even about the SEAL community and what they go through and being with these guys and clocking in with them and being a part of that community now, it's just very humbling and it's done beautifully as well.
And there's just, you know, this is day one and there's already an incredible energy here. I know. It really is. There are about thousands of people on the bottom. I mean, I'm looking at Dan Murphy over there through the window, the families.
But give it an hour. The other thing is, I want you both to enter this. There's a difference now since 9-11. Navy SEALs are no longer anonymous. You don't have to be a member in the Navy.
Now, between Zero Dark 30, the takedown of Bin Laden in real life, the movie that followed, your story, people knowing Navy SEALs. I understand in the community there's a little bit of a disagreement if the fame's good or not. How do you feel about everyone knowing about the SEAL SEAL? Sure. He all made it hard for us to do undercover work.
I was brought up that way too. Quiet professional. If you boys are in, you keep your mouth shut. We made it hard for you.
So suck it up. I don't care, new guy. That's what I tell my operators. Yeah, if. Life's tough for us.
But, um,. There's two there's two parts of that. Obviously the old warriors telling their stories is what brings the new warriors to the table.
So, you have to have that. It's been around since Warriors started fighting. The clandestine operations, no matter what you think you know about our community, you don't know nothing. You only know we let you see. And for the reason why you come visit this museum, I'll tell you, because I've already hid things here in this museum that lead to treasures.
There are little hidden Easter eggs and gems throughout this museum that, if you know what you're looking at, will send you on a journey and on an adventure to find bigger ones. Are you finding this out for the first time, Taylor? We did that on purpose. Oh. We did that on there's don't seals notorious for that.
And there's so many things in here that are hidden for the general public to find, to find other things. I'll give you that little bit, and then I'll leave you at that. But that's one of the reasons you want to come up here not only just to see this wonderful town and the people in it, but. what the our kind of uh our fraternity created. Go ahead.
I mean, I just literally met the guy who put the HVAC in here, and his brother, he lost his brother in Iraq in 2005. And it's like, it's just this community and these people, it's a special spot, man. And it really is. And today's just a day to celebrate, memorialize, and be together, you know? Right.
Taylor Kitch is here, and Marcus Otrell are here. 100% true. I understand that, but they think there's attention to it. But I can't tell you how many people say I joined the military because I saw a movie or I met somebody. And I just read today that the Army is lowering their standards to now you no longer have to have a high school education.
That's how depleted they are in recruiting. Are you worried about that, Marcus? That I'm not saying so much the Army, but overall the military recruiting's down. A sign of the times, right? We're in a transitional period in our country.
We're all going through something. If you wanted to make us a family, how would you do that? How would you make everyone in America find commonality? That's right. And what did they do to us?
Well, they made us sick. We all got sick together. You don't get battle weakened, you get battle hardened.
So, our generation, after two wars for 20 years, that's what you did to us. After that, the ending sucked on our favorite movie, Afghanistan, right? It was kind of. It's terrible. And then and then what happened?
Then you got a sick. We all got sick together. You don't think that's created by the division? It means the division in our country. That's right.
That's how you bring us together. I mean, it it it does that automatically. And there are peaks and valleys, the lulls. And when the retention goes down and recruiting goes down, don't worry.
Something will happen to push that back up.
Okay. We have a natural way of correcting ourselves, and Americans are great. Self-correcting content. That's right. You can get them mad, you can get them happy.
Do not piss them off. Right. We don't like that at all. I understand. You can do a lot of things.
Don't do that to us. Right? And the worst thing that can happen is if everyone stops caring. Right. If everyone stops really giving a dang or damn about what goes on here, then we'll be in trouble.
But you know who else is in trouble? The world, because the world needs us to be strong. It's a deeper conversation. You're absolutely right on that.
So, as we're going through our transitional thing, let's do it. Don't come in here messing with us. You definitely don't want to come in here and poke the bear while we're going through some stuff. Right. Taylor, Marcus, thanks so much.
Great to see you.
So great that you came down to be here. And, Marcus, always great to see you. I asked you to come. You were supposed to come tonight. I asked you to come roll and you did.
So I appreciate it. Thanks for having us.
All right.
Thanks, guys. Appreciate it. Back in a moment. Brian Kilmey Show. Educating, entertaining, enlightening.
You're with Brian Kilmead. Uh Breaking news, unique opinions. Hear it all on the Brian Kill Me Show. What else is in your toolbox? Is there anything else you can do to help bring down?
the cost of gas.
Well, first of all, let's just say that this is a very real issue. And um we have to do something about it, and it's one of our highest priorities as an administration.
So there is the piece that is about gas and bringing down the cost of gas, which in large part has exploded because of Putin's war in Ukraine. It's like cheese. wasting time in the hope of coming up with an answer because she has none. How could how could you How could you not know How could you not know how to answer that? How could you not know how to answer that question?
quickly. Putin price hike, I know the administration says that, but that's Kamala Harris asking about the number one issue in America, even more important than abortion, even though I saw a new study that showed that 60% of the country is more likely to vote because of abortion and vote because they want Roe v. Wade back.
So I understand that's a big issue. But Kamala Harris, left behind to do interviews, I mean, one question is worse than the next. She was asked this, and I'm not going to play it now because I'm up against a break, but she was asked about abortion. She says, I was born because of a mother, who was brought here because of a mother. Abortion matters.
And we will provide vouchers to travel people to get abortions. And I think the craziest thing, no matter where you are in this argument, pro-choice, pro-life, pro-abortion, is that. I always thought that nobody wanted to have that option of abortion, but people chose to have it.
Now people are actually cheering it as if it's something to look forward to. How did everything get that twisted? Hey, Brian Kilmicho on the road. You hear somebody talk in the background. Michael Murphy Naval SEAL Museum.
From the Fox News Radio Studios in New York City, giving you opinions and facts with a positive approach. It's Brian Kilmead. Thanks so much for being here, everybody. It's the Brian Kilmey Show. Proud to be coming to you from the Michael Murphy Navy SEAL Museum in West Sayville, New York on Long Island.
A special day behind me here is some of the announcement in the ceremony. About a thousand people have gathered, many of which have served in the past with the teams, and many of which are their family members or just benefactors. People have donated their time, whether they're landscapers, whether they're builders, whether it's just checks, or whether it's people here to remember Michael Murphy and all those who served since 1942. Mark Penn is standing by. Brett Baer at the bottom of the hour.
Brett Baer had a bit of a brawl on the show. I cannot wait to talk about that.
So let's get to the big three.
Now, with the stories you need to know, it's Brian's big three. Sponsored by LifeFact, save a life in a choking emergency. Visit lifeact.net to learn more and use code BK10 to save 10%. Number three. This is more death on the hands of the president.
I can't think of anything worse than these. people in that 18 wheel are suffocating. Can't go on. Dozens of stacks of bodies found in tractor trailers as illegals die horrifically in San Antonio, all because this administration will not crack down on the border, and the word is out around the country and around the world: come one and come all, and you can stay. Number two.
Hey, Palace, Dad. It's eight fifteen. I just wanted to talk to you. I thought the article released the thing on online. It's going to be printed tomorrow and the times was good.
I need to clear. Sooner or later, this is going to have to blow up in his face. President Biden not telling the truth. That's what he has proven to be, lying essentially when it comes to the knowledge of his son Hunter's business dealings. Not my opinion.
You just heard his own words. Number Wrong. They will pass a federal ban on abortion. Do you believe that would happen, Michael? Yes.
Without doubt or hesitation. Republicans care about life until the child is born. Well, isn't that nice? The latest on abortion rights and bans, and the rhetoric heats up in places, in some places, it overheats into violence on the streets as both sides play politics with life. And choice.
With me right now is Mark Penn, chairman of the Harris Poll and Chief Executive of Stagwell Inc. Mark, welcome back. Thank you. Politically Which is the least important thing out of abortion. But politically, who stands to blame, who stands to gain with the abolition of Roe v.
Wade?
Well, look, I think things are a little up in the air at the moment, bud. But generally, I've said them, and I think it's true. Suburban women who were trending Republican may have second thoughts. And those second, that's the critical midterm election vote. I think that it's been more concerned about the pocketbook and inflation.
And those are the voters, I think, who come up for grabs here. And so, Democrats certainly have an opportunity because. Talking about choice is a better subject than inflation, immigration or crimes, that's for sure. Which is all trending in a bad direction for them. What did we learn in the period between when this decision leaked out, when Alito's papers leaked out?
As a and that interim period until now, did it seem as though people are getting used to that fact or are things different now?
Well, things aren't done until they're done. I think a lot of polling on this shows that most people would have really come out where Roberts wanted to come out. They would have paired it back. They wouldn't have removed it entirely. Most of the public favors allowing choice or abortion up to fifteen weeks, but certainly not in the third trimester.
So it is an issue in which the country is somewhat divided. They probably this does throw everything in politics into turmoil, really, because the political system is going to have to decide something that it really hasn't decided, right? And instead, the courts had stepped in and decided it for them.
So it is a pretty good test of our democracy and how it comes out. Yeah, you hear some cheering in the background as they get set to officially open the Navy Museum here. But you talk about rhetoric a lot.
Now the Democrats are trying to say next up is going to be gay marriage, next up is going to be contraception because of what Clarence Thomas wrote. That clearly seems to be a game plan they came up with over the last two months to get ready for this day, right?
Well, I think Thomas did open those subjects up, but he really appears to be the lone justice. And that Alioto and the main decision really shuts the door on that. I don't know how he's going to get five justices over to that position. But again, justices are not very good politicians. It probably would have been better for Thomas to have kept those views.
To himself, but he's heard what he's saying, and I think it will play in politics. But I don't see it realistically how he's going to get support for that on the court. I want you to hear a little of what Michael Steele, who used to run the RNC, said about what the GOP will do. Maybe it has everything to do with the channel he's on. I'm not sure.
Cut six. The House and the Senate that they will pass a federal ban on abortion. Do you believe that would happen, Michael? Yes. Without doubt or hesitation.
They'll set the marker, and if they have the House and the Senate, they will pay. Will they overturn the filibuster to do it? Absolutely, because it's in their bases' interest to do so. Absolutely. A national ban on abortion would be one of the first pieces of legislation, probably next to impeaching Joe Biden.
That's hyperbole, if I could steal the President's favorite word. There's nobody talking about that, but that's where I think the strategy is in saying you think this is bad, it's going to be worse. Yes. I mean, look, there's a bit of a scarathon going on. But Rogue versus Waite was overturned.
A lot of people thought that, that itself was an unlikely outcome, that the justices would be more likely to stick to Sari Decisis. Um but uh just you know I don't think I don't think that Either extreme is likely to pass Congress. I don't know if Congress is really going to want be able to do anything at all relative to leaving this to the states. It'll be, again, part of what the whole midterms will be about is, is there a place that people are comfortable with? Most people would be comfortable with where Roberts came out, but the Democratic left probably wouldn't be comfortable with that, and the Republican right probably wouldn't be comfortable with that.
So So that's where it looks to me like it's going to go to states, and the more liberal states are going to have more liberal provisions, and less liberal states are going to have less liberal provisions. Mark Penn. Mark Penn, our guest. Mark, a lot of some people have speculated this is really going to affect states more than U.S. seats, Congress seats, Senate seats, because states will decide what their abortion rules are going to be.
Is that a theory you buy into? Yeah, no, I I think most likely this is going to go to the States. And there it will be fought out state by state. This will be add an extra dimension to politics. I think the justices frankly intended that to be the case.
They're let the political system figure this out. And the political system is not going to figure this out in a day. This is kind of a two to five year, you know. State by state. Battleground on what provisions will or will not work.
You never know whether a different Supreme Court might get reinvolved in this. I don't think this issue was really settled. other than we're not going back to the nineteen sixties. uh because there's no question that abortion will be fully available in key democratic states and that in in today's world people can often get there uh and have the procedures and a lot of companies have provided for employees.
So there will be choice.
However, a different choice than existed before this ruling. Mark, there's a story in today's New York Times, I'm sure you read, that said. The Democrats won't take yes for an answer because Joe Biden keeps telling everyone, I am running. And for the most part, they just keep talking as if they're not sure if he's running or not. What's the story behind the scenes for a guy that knows all about reelections beginning with the Clintons?
Well, when you asked the question in in a poll, Two Democrats. Who would you like to see as the next Democratic nominee for President? Usually the sitting president gets about eighty five percent for that. Uh in this case President Biden's getting around 30% on that.
Okay. But the truth is Everybody knows that Democrats themselves are skeptical about him running a second term. I personally don't think he's going to run a second term. A second term when all is said and done. But as even before the midterms, I don't think any sitting president can say that.
got to say he's running because he doesn't want to come off as a lame duck president at this point. And I think the real decision will be made sometime after the midterms. If it's a good midterms, he will run. And if it's a as Obama called it, a shellacking, I think it makes it a lot less likely. Do you th do you think he should run?
Again, with the limited support, he has unless he was able to completely repivot his presidency, move it to the center, gain the leadership of the country, which is what we did in nineteen in ninety six, in the run up to that election between 'ninety four and nineteen 'inet six, But I don't see any signs that he is willing, able or wants to do that. And therefore, him running for reelection is unlikely to be to be to be a successful event based on his current rating.
So I don't think he will wind up running. I just, you know, that's my opinion. We'll see whether I'm right or wrong probably in the next eight months. Tell me if you can read between the lines here when Kamala Harris was asked, cut 29. Congressmanson Jim Clyburn said last week that if President Biden doesn't seek reelection, you would be first on his list.
in 2024. Have you talked to President Biden about reelection? And what do you say to Congressman Clyburn? Joe Biden is running for reelection and I will be his ticket mate. Full stop.
Full stop. Is it?
So You feel better now? What do you think's going on? Is that the way she should have answered it? Yeah, that is the way she should have answered it. I don't think, had she given any different answer.
Oh, that would have been that would have been disastrous. Uh I think politicians Are famously inaccurate about their predictions about whether or not they will run for the Presidency of the United States. I think there's no doubt that if Biden winds up not running. She's the favorite. I think she's the likely favorite because of the history in the Democratic Party.
Uh but again, we'll see, you know. it's very hard to figure out like who's going to be president this far out So you can talk about some likely scenarios. The likely scenario is You know, Biden doesn't run, she's the nominee. But even that likely scenario is probably only 25%. You know, because there are so many other things that can happen that we haven't figured out yet.
In terms of other candidates, of well-funded candidates who come in, third parties. There's so much that could happen in politics, but that's the likely course of events. Hey, Mark Penn, last question. Hillary Clinton last week says, I'm not going to run again. Should we believe her?
I think in that case, Uh I don't think that that she'll be running and of course the big question mark You didn't ask me on the other side is whether Trump is running, but But you know, the public When I ask them, do they want Hillary, Trump, Biden to run again, the answer is no. They actually want someone new here. They're done with the politics of that era. I think they're done with Pelosi, who's particularly unpopular. you know, as well.
I think Trump is losing popularity kind of weakly. As DeSantis gains within the Republican Party. You know, I once wrote a slogan, forward, not back, for another candidate, and I think that's the mood of this country. And I guess I lied. I do have one more question.
Do you think when you compromise, like Republicans are looked at as compromised, 14 of them did on this gun legislation, in this climate, is that political peril? No, I I think I think it was it was Well, look, I think it's good for the country. I think two party solutions. When they occur like that, generally. Good for the country.
I think they found a common ground. And I think that's exactly what the public wants. I think the public is sick and tired. Of whether it's crime or immigration or fiscal responsibility. I'm sick and tired of the of the parties not getting together.
And when they get together, Those who are part of the deal, and we discovered this in 96 when we made deals. Those who make the deals are the ones who benefit. It seems like they're doing they're working for the country and not just for political gain and trying to take issues to midterms. Yes, I agree with you. But to get through the primaries, if you show any type of to this point, in the past, recent past, if you show any type of give and compliance, it seems to be viewed as weakness.
Um you know, I I I think the country is is looking for people that that That work together. And I think that the proposals that they agreed upon are seen, if I polled them individually, as kind of overwhelmingly positive proposals, right, in the seventies or eighties.
So look, I'm a little less familiar with Republican primaries and the dynamics. That could occur, but in any of them, and some of that's possible. But I think in this case, we'll see what happens. I think the senators that went this way will likely gain politically rather than lose. Mark Penn, you're unfailingly fair, and we truly appreciate it.
I love the analysis. There's a lack of plenty of points of view. We appreciate you coming on, Mark. Thank you. Thank you.
All right.
Listen, we come back, your turn, 1866-408-7669. And behind me, you see some announcements because you have. Uh The Navy SEALs have now Para uh actually dropped, yeah, they leapfrogged into Right outside The Seal Museum, and they've just landed, and that is the applause you hear in the background. We're in West Stateville, New York. I'm Brian Kilmead.
This is the Brian Kilmead Show. Both sides, all opinions. It's Brian Killmead. The fastest three hours in radio. You're with Brian Kilmead.
I want to see the Secretary of Homeland Security come out press today, come out and give a statement, and continue to lie to the American people. that this border is secure and it's closed. That you have operational control of the border. That your policies are safe, board, and humane. Because the fact is, your policies has caused record illegal immigration.
The more people that cross that border, the more that die.
So, under this administration, they broke a lot of records. A record number of migrants have already died in Joe Biden, over 700.
Now add 46 more to it. A record number of Americans that have died from drug overdoses come across an open border. This administration is breaking a lot of records. The records are all bad. Tom Holman, who used to be ICE director of Border Czar, he has had a distinguished career, saw the border better than any time in his entire life, and now it's never been worse.
But you know that already. And what he's referring to, and the reason why he was booked today on Fox and Friends, is because yesterday we found out that 46 people dead in a tractor trailer, 16 others taken to a hospital, because these migrant smugglers put these guys into a refrigerator truck and didn't turn on any refrigeration because they didn't want to be discovered, some theorize, among the deadliest tragedies to have claimed thousands of lives of people to cross the border. This happens all the time. The San Antonio police chief said the officers received a call 10 minutes before 6. They show up and they saw what they saw.
Also interesting, we don't have an ICE director. Why? They've taken all the prestige out of the position and all the power. Tony Gonzalez. Was offered the position, and he has turned it down.
The nominee is his name is. Actually, Ed Gonzalez, my bad, he said, I'm grateful to President Biden for the honor of nominating me, and I wish this administration well as it strives to overcome the paralyzing political gridlock that threatens far more than our nation's border. Frankly, the dysfunction threatens America's heart and soul. Believe me, it's all him. We might have gridlock.
This is not an example of gridlock. This is an open border. All the money is going to bringing these people in and getting them accommodations. And I am sick of it. I hope you are too.
I hope the Hispanic community sends this message to the president. The talk show that's getting you talking. You're with Brian Kilmead. I think that this is a seismic decision that we're going to be dealing with for years to come. I think it's something that will really inflame a new culture war in the country.
But if you're asking, does it affect what will happen in the November midterms? I'm not sure we know because, as Guy just said, Americans have a lot on their plates. Americans are very concerned about the cost of gas, the cost of food, the availability of infant formula. And those are things that I think tend to be top of mind when people go to a poll.
So, I'm not sure about November, but we're going to be talking about this for a very long time to come.
Well, that was Susan Page last night on Brett Baer has his show called Special Report, and that was her analysis. No one knows quite what's going on, but they do think it will help Democrats in the short term to energize their base, who couldn't be more depressed because of the performance of Congress as well as the President. With me right now is that host of Special Report, Brett Baer. Brett, no one really knows quite what's going to happen. We did see a poll out today that Democrats seem more motivated since Roe v.
Wade was overturned. Yeah, I think so, and I think you're going to see that definitely in the short term. And to Susan's point, The question is what happens long term? We're in June. By November, what happens as far as washing that out?
Is it as potent a political issue as it is today? we don't know. We do know that inflation is likely going to be around in significant factor, and that's what most people are dealing with. I think abortion, and Britt Hume said it last night on the show, is really going to be fascinating in the battles in each individual state. There are some Republicans who, knowing that Roe v.
Wade was in place, as kind of a buffer, went very aggressively and voted for very, very stiff, strict laws that now they're going to look back at and say, should there be exemptions, Are for rape and incest. Should there be a cap at 15 weeks or some compromise in the legislation? That had passed already. And I think that that's where the battle is going to go. And maybe that changes the dynamic about the wish on the federal you know, election cases.
Yeah, possibly.
Now there's all the debate about the abortion pill. Yeah, I mean, that's a fascinating debate, and one in which the FDA is going to stand and say this pill is. Authorized and should be available to everybody in the country, and some states. are going to say no. Yeah.
Yeah, I mean, that's, and we had Governor Noam on, and they talked about possibly. Is there going to be a push among Republicans to go out, get some power, and go out and ban abortion entirely and not even keep it up to the states? Michael Steele. Um uh actually speculated that cut six. The House and the Senate that they will pass a federal ban on abortion.
Do you believe that would happen, Michael? Yes. Without doubt or hesitation. They'll set the marker and if they have the House and the Senate, they will pay. Will they overturn the filibuster to do it?
Absolutely. Because it's in their bases' interest to do so. Absolutely. A national ban on abortion will be one of the first pieces of legislation, probably next to impeaching Joe Biden.
I would guarantee you they will not put in the get rid of the filibuster if they get the majority, end the presidency and get rid of abortion. I think he's dead wrong. I mean, for as confident as he was saying that, I see no evidence of that up on Capitol Hill. Yes, it's been talked about in some elements and some lawmakers. But in the leadership, I see nothing.
I see a focus on energy exploration, on taxes, on big picture uh things Um Yes, there may be an effort to have launch investigations back into Hunter Biden and other things. That will be a part of all of that. But I don't see that as a priority for the leadership. When you watch Nancy Pelosi push that child, do you get the sense she pushes other children? This is the first one just caught on camera.
Yeah. I I You know, I looked at that video and I saw what Congresswoman Flores said about it. I had bigger fish to fry yesterday. I know, which brought me to. I watched the brawl yesterday.
I thought you asked the question that I couldn't wait to answer if I was her, just to knock it out of the park and say it didn't happen. Listen, here's my thought process, right? It's the Washington Post. It's doing a story. If she doesn't think that if she wins the primary, that Democrats are going to ask that question in debates or that they are going to focus on that, why not have the opportunity to address it head on?
And instead, what she did was attack me, attack Fox, and that prompted me to press further about the original question that I asked. That's what I do. I ask questions that and I've done it since the beginning of covering politics. is both sides. Republicans, Democrats, what are their vulnerabilities?
Are there stories out there that are potential problems? You ask it in a way that allows them to address it. And if she addressed it head on and said something specific, I would have moved on. But, you know, it uh that's what happens sometimes. And you know, we had just been through four questions on the twenty twenty election.
Um And that's one of our campaign Yeah. Uh Stump speeches is that it's a stolen election and that Joe Biden is an illegitimate president. We'll see how that works in our zone. Yeah, we'll see. And by the way, Georgia, but it may work in Arizona.
It does not work in Georgia, though. Right, Corey Lake is who you're talking about. Just by the way, the pause to everyone who knows, if you're just tuning in right now, I am live at the Michael Murphy Navy, the opening of the Michael Murphy Navy SEAL Museum in Sayville, New York. I have the official ceremonies behind me. Got about, I think, about a thousand, maybe more people behind me.
And Dan Murphy, Michael's dad, is speaking and singling out different people that are here, including Marcus Luttrell and then Taylor Kitch, who played Michael Murphy in the movie Lone Survivor.
So, just so you know, it's not your set. We're not in a bad situation. We're actually in a great situation with background noise. But here's a little of the exchange with Kari Lake yesterday with you. Cut 30.
This is absolutely ludicrous. I'm talking about drag shows in schools. This is what triggered this man.
Somebody who goes to a drag show with female impersonators is one thing. We don't want our tax money going into drag shows at school.
Okay, I understand. I understand what you're making a difference there, but you're saying his allegations are wrong, is what you're saying. Yes, I am. And I'm really appalled that you would spend time on a false story like that. It's shocking.
Well, I think it's important to have candidates address things that are coming up that might affect her race. And I thought you would appreciate that. You didn't ask my opponent, the establishment opponent who was here last week. You didn't ask her about her votes to allow illegal alien students to get a lower tuition than American students. You didn't ask her about the 70-plus times that she raised tuition on American students.
Right. You didn't ask her any questions.
So, just so we get the idea, the back and forth.
So, you were just asking her a question, and there's pictures of her at some type of, I don't know, drag. Party? You know, this guy, it was a drag queen, goes by Barbara Seville, says that they had a long relationship, and as whatever, they were friends, and she came to parties, and he said he performed at her house. Whatever. What the point was, was that the Washington Post story was about hypocrisy, is that she's talking.
Talking about drag queens negatively, he pops up and says, Well, wait a second. This is who she was before. She's trying to make a disference between Going to drag shows and partying with these people and having them with your kids. I don't really understand the issue. I'm not sure drag queens were heading to.
kindergarten classes, but um that's where the differential she's making. Heat comes up. Washington Post does a story. I make the Assumption that she wants to address it head on, and that's where the uh the b the battle comes because she says she's appalled.
So Listen, some interviews Go off the rails, others don't. Uh, we just keep on asking questions and uh give people time to answer them.
Well, it got me. I was uh working out at the time, and I go, wait a second, I gotta put the sound up here. You know, I gotta make it louder, I go, What's going on? Why are they you know plus a lot of the still pictures of people d in drag I'm c I'm never used to. They're kind of catching me by surprise of late.
They're all over every channel.
So I I'm very confused about some news cycles. This is one of them. This is one of them. And you know what, it's now, of course, now the former President has weighed in. And I'm very unfair, Brett, there.
Very unfair. Which is a wonderful song, I think. Wait a second. How did he say it? Very unfair, Brett Bear.
No, he he says it on truth to social. I guess I I just saw a clip about it. Yeah. It's part of the political process. There's going to be questions that politicians don't like.
And I thought you were very passing on both sides.
So, can you tell me about your special now? On Fo on on on Fox Nation? Yeah, so uh we've got this um The couple of things running at the same time. Right now is the unauthorized history of Vietnam. That is really got a lot of acclaim about the research that went into it and people learning, even Vietnam experts, about some of the stuff.
That has been uncovered. And that was really, really a fun project to work on, and I think it's worth the time to take a look at it. It's a number of different parts. And then the other one is Lost Ships of World War two, which is really cool underwater exploration of battleships sunk in World War two and the effort to find the remains.
So two great projects that and what a great day for you out there at that Navy SEAL. Yes. Yeah, it's really cool. I love this stuff. And we have a reason for you to come to Long Island, and one of the reasons to the Navy SEAL Museum, and what makes it better, it's adjacent to a golf course.
So you could do everything you want for you, Brett. Absolutely. The game of golf has not asked me, has asked me to stop. As collectively. Both the Live Tour and PGA both agree I shouldn't be golfing.
You know, you could get some serious money broadcasting on the LibTour. I'm gone, side gig. Three billion dollars. That's what I would need. But listen, you know, I had Greg Norman on that night.
He puts a strong argument up there. I saw the interview. It was good. All right, we'll see where you go. See if Brett Baer ends up on that tour, too.
Brett, see if there's enough money to lower you back. Yeah, I don't know. Lake Tahoe Celebrity Classic next week, so we'll see how I do. All right, I'm predicting victory.
Okay. I'll call you from out there. All right, go get him. You got to be John Smoltz first. Brett Baird, thanks so much.
We'll see ya. All right, go to Fox Nation too. Let me see, we're going to finish up things at the Michael Murphy East Museum in just a moment. I'm so glad you're here at Brian Kilmeat Show. Newsmakers and newsbreakers, here at first on the Brian Kilmeat Show.
He's so busy, he'll make your head spin. It's Brian Killmead. Joe Biden transferred Hunter $100,000 in December 2018 and January 2019. And during the same timeframe, Hunter Biden spent Uh over thirty thousand dollars on Uh on Escorts that are linked to Russian bank accounts. That video that you just showed, Joe Biden wired Hunter Biden $5,000 about two and a half hours before that was filmed.
Now senders Grassley and Johnson published a report in 2020 saying that Hunter Biden had or alleging that Hunter Biden had engaged in transactions with a suspected human trafficking or prostitution ring tied in Eastern Europe.
So understand what's going on here. Today in the cover of the New York Post shows that Joe Biden actually had a voicemail left for his son that was on his laptop for some reason. He downloaded it to his laptop And I have a theory on that. that talked about how don't worry about that story coming out in the Washington Post. I think you're going to be okay.
And the reality is he shouldn't be okay. He's doing international business deals with absolutely no qualifications with a Chinese energy company and a Multi-billionaire who has gone missing, ironically, and then a A partner in Devin Archer that gets arrested, now in jail for a year because of unsavory activities. And this is going to come out in 2018. The Washington Post writes it, and I imagine someone got to the Washington Post to sanitize it. Like they do everything.
They later would just neutralize the whole laptop until after two and a half years, the pressure got too great. And that was Andrew Kerr, the Washington Examiner investigative reporter, who's saying, why is Hunter Biden getting money from Joe Biden in Russia and what he used it for looking to get the baked drink transactions is prostitutes?
Now, no one says that Joe Biden knows that. He also gave him something like $20,000 to go into a drug rehab, which, by the way, he seems to have put in his pocket and not gone. Feel bad for Joe Biden on that, but why would you put him under stress and have the family fortunes on his shoulders as you go to different countries that may or may not destroy your political career as you use the power of Joe Biden as senator and vice president to get big Bucks. Here's more from Andrew Kerr. It's not clear at the moment whether these payments that we're reporting on are linked to what Senators Grassley and Johnson were talking about.
But it is important to note that we did pull text messages from a copy of Hunter Biden's abandoned laptop showing that Hunter Biden was talking to a woman linked to this escort agency saying that, hey, I can't make payments to these bank accounts linked to Russian email addresses because they're throwing red flags for my bank account. In one instance, he said that his bank account was frozen temporarily because he was trying to make payments to Russian email addresses for these escort services.
So yes, it is pretty incredible the amount of money that Joe Biden was sending Hunter Biden and then what he was using that money on. Yes, everything about this is insane. If you had. I don't know. Donald Trump Jr.
doing a tenth of this, even if he was the crazy son that no one could control?
Okay. It wouldn't matter. They would just destroy the whole Trump business. And if Donald Trump had given Donald Trump Jr., theoretically, if he had some type of problem, money, and even though it wouldn't be linked to anything negative, he used something for it negative, that would be the story. But again, you have a guy looking the other way, and I believe Hunter Biden wants to get caught.
I think he, on some level, wants to destroy his family. Here's more from Andrew Kerr. This is in a time frame where Hunter Biden, despite making tens of thousands of dollars a month as a director for Burisma, he was essentially broke. His bank accounts were running in the negative. He couldn't afford car payments.
And in one instance, he was reduced to begging his sister-in-law to fork him over some cash so he could afford ski lift tickets. He didn't have a dime to his name. Yet somehow he still was able to spend $30,000 on escorts. What is going on? How do you get millions from these countries and have nothing left.
And being obsessed with prostitutes, but yet you want to go skiing with your family.
So, Josh Boswell is a Daily Mail reporter, and he talked about this voicemail. And the voicemail essentially says it's kind of low, but essentially says, hey, I don't think the 2018 article in the Washington Post is going to be a big deal. And Josh Boswell says this: cut 22. I think this is a really important revelation that we have. It's coming right from the President's mouth.
And I think that it's almost more important what wasn't said, right? It wasn't a phone call from Joe Biden to his son saying, what the hell are you doing? Like, I'm reading about deals with corrupt criminal Chinese businessmen. What's going on? It's you're in the clear, right?
He clearly knew what was going on. Yes. Josh Boswell, you're sharing our amazement, which we've been amazed with two and a half years as we go deeper and deeper in this. I'm Brian Kilmead. Thanks to everybody who made this Navy SEAL Museum opening so special.
Michael Murphy certainly was and his family to open and come here and see these great warfighters is fantastic. And everyone who put this all together, and Allison for making the trip to Long Island because it's so far from Jersey. And keep it here on the Brian Kilmead Show.
